Arrive at NBO; clear immigration and collect baggage. Guide meets at the pre-arranged arrivals/baggage claim meeting point — allow 15–30 minutes for immigration and luggage collection.
If you need a bite after your flight, use arrivals cafes like Java House or airport kiosks for a light meal or coffee; convenient and quick before the city transfer. Hours vary by outlet — most arrivals cafes operate from early morning until late evening, but check the specific outlet on the day.
Board the pre-booked private transfer (van/minivan/coach) at the arrivals pickup point; typical drive to central Nairobi is 25–35 minutes but allow 45 minutes for traffic. The driver will drop you at the hotel or closest curbside location.
Short final transfer or shuttle to your hotel; staff will assist with luggage and check-in formalities. Timing assumes a prompt handover from the airport transfer.
Official check-in time — drop bags, freshen up and rest after travel. Use this time to confirm tomorrow's pickup details with your guide and review the next day's plan.
Carnivore is a famed Nairobi dining experience (meat-focused buffet with grilled game and salads) open typically 12:00pm–10:30pm; it’s a great introduction to Kenyan cuisine and atmosphere — reserve in advance. If you prefer a quieter setting, Talisman (11:00am–10:00pm) or About Thyme (08:00am–10:00pm) are excellent alternatives with diverse menus.
